You will undertake a variety of tasks during classroom time including group and individual work and practical projects. You will be studying alongside colleagues from a range of settings and will learn a lot through comparing your different experiences.

You will be asked to have some evidence witnessed by the setting e.g. activity plans to confirm that they have taken place.
You will need to complete an 80-hour placement between September and June whilst on the course and will be observed by a member of the teacher training team at the setting.
